This is a really great deal! Also, it turns out that Best Buy has Rocky: The Complete Saga on sale for $24.99 as well. If you combine this with that 10% off Music, Movies, or Games coupon that Best Buy is currently snail-mailing and e-mailing, you can get these for only $22.50 each (limit 3...
I certainly do hope that the cover art is a rough draft, although I do have a feeling that the final version won't differ that much. Anyway, with the huge internet fan following that Spaced has, I'm sure that they're aware that the cover art isn't being well-received. Stew, I'd definitely...
Even though I care more about what the discs contain, I will also say that the cover art is atrocious. They didn't have to mess with a great piece of art like the Definitive R2 cover. Heck, even one of those live-action photos with the cast crowded together and looking upwards would have been...
It's nice to see that all those Hulk cartoons will be released in complete packages. I especially enjoyed the 1982 version. Even though I can play Region 2 PAL discs, I wish they released these titles for Region 1 NTSC in the United States. It would be a bit cheaper and easier to pick them...
I skimmed through The Whoopee Boys and Some Kind of Hero. They look really great for their age, particularly The Whoopee Boys with all the lively colors. Both films have occasional dirt and specks on the print, but that's to be expected. Some Kind of Hero is terrific to see in its OAR. I...
That's nice that the disc is getting a 5.1 TrueHD track. If I remember correctly, the current DVD has only a Dolby Surround 2.0 track (which could very well be the original sound mix, considering the age of the film). I'm wondering how the first scene with Charlie visiting his parents is...
True. :) Actually, I asked about the movie because I seem to remember a movie with a similar plot, featuring an actor with a similar build to Winkler. If I remember correctly, it was about a guy who took a job as a pro wrestler and was trying to hide it from his family. The only parts of...
Great! It does indeed sound like the movie that I remember seeing. I remember Winkler playing different bad guy characters, and then the crowd goes nuts for the Gorgeous George character he plays later on. Looks like I'll be adding something to my online shopping list when I can afford it. :)
I just wanted to shoot a quick post into here to add my praise to the pile that Legend Films has been receiving. I ordered 2 DVDs from them early Tuesday morning, and they arrived today! I have my DVDs a little over 48 hours after ordering them! Considering that Tuesday was Tax Day and a...
Thanks for that info. I'll try to remember to look out for them if I happen to go to Target later this week. At least we know that whenever Target does carry these, they'll most likely be $9.99.
Are those titles available to rent already, or are they just available to Save for later in your queue? I know that I looked at the two titles I ordered (The Whoopee Boys and Some Kind of Hero), and they are available to Save, with the availability shown as Unknown. What titles have you seen...
This is great! I had no idea that Legend Films was offering most of the titles for ordering on their website already, and they were already shipping them out. I thought that I would just have to order what I wanted from Amazon or hope that one of the brick-and-mortar store chains would stock...
No music changes, huh? That's terrific news! I wonder which studio is releasing this, because if there are truly no music changes, that's a great job by them. The only issue I could see with no music changes is a hefty price tag, which will probably only be an issue with casual buyers. I know...
I see. It makes sense for them to keep the status of the show open, then. I'm thinking that it's pretty much dead, too, especially for the reason that you mentioned (writer's strike situation). Still, I wish that they would release the alternate cuts of the first few episodes, including the...
Excellent post, Jason. From that perspective, I can see why they'd keep the status of the show floating about. I have read conflicting reports on whether or not there are episodes left in the can. Like you, I've heard that they have about 5 or 6 episodes completed. However, I've also heard...
First of all, I'd like to know what the hell is up with NBC. I read the latest batch of articles where Eick says the show is finished, but they all seem to mention that NBC will not confirm the status of the show. Is it that hard for NBC to whip up a quick press release that says the show is...
I'll definitely pick up this release, as I enjoyed the show and have been a longtime fan of Michelle Ryan. I am a bit disappointed at the specs on the release, though. I'm happy that we're getting anamorphic video and 5.1 sound just as it was originally aired. Hopefully they can at least...
Hadn't checked this thread in ages. I had called every day to get a replacement disc for the longest time and had given up because of busy lines and poor service. Because I wasn't sure that I would need the UPC code for the disc exchange, I never cut it out and sent for the posters, either. I...
As I had posted a while back, Encore / Starz channels have been showing the Bond movies as part of their regular rotation of movies. Today, they showed OHMSS, and I decided to give it a look again. The movie begins with a new, recent United Artists title card, and then goes into an...
Thank you for the information on OHMSS. That answers my questions. Still, it's incredibly odd that there is a non-Lowry print out there with the blue color timing. That's what really confused me. Also, thanks for the info on LALD. I should be set either way. I plan on picking up the...
I haven't picked up the 3rd and 4th Ultimate sets, but looking at some of the screen captures for OHMSS, I'm a bit confused. I popped in my SE of the film, and the pre-credits sequence appears as in the screencaps, with the sunrise look and all. However, I remember watching the film...
Aaron, do you think you could find out why Sony released a different version of the movie and didn't point it out? In the cinema, there were outtakes playing under the closing credits. I believe they are even referenced in one of the commentaries. They aren't available seperately as a bonus...
Well, it's just that we've all heard the arguments from everyone that the Star Wars OT should be presented warts and all, with visible matte lines and similar issues.
I would have thought that many would prefer to have the Superman TC in the same vein, with the TC being somewhat unrestored and...
Hello Mr. O'Halloran, It is an honor to have you here with us on the HTF. Thank you for taking the time to meet and speak with your many fans here. Is there a decision in your life that you regret making or not making, such as taking a role or not taking / missing out on a role? Or perhaps...
How are they going to have the original sound, though? I thought the master stems were damaged. Porting over the laserdisc track?
Also, is the theatrical version going to consist of the restored footage? Or will it truly be the original version, with all the "mistakes" in the film, like...
